You'll need something in that empty slot, yes.
Well, in the A/B side of it [...] Also, there's a 1MB PMI memory board for the KA630
that's dual-width!
When I was writing that, it occurred to me that such a thing could
exist, though it also seemed unlikely to me that they were made. I'm
interested to hear such a thing was made.
I've seen one in person, once, decades ago. I
don't think DEC sold
them for very long.
It occurs to me that a dual-width 16M PMI board is something that would
border on trivial to make today and probably would have a small but
happy market. I know I'd definitely want to hear more if I heard of
such a thing. Is enough known about the PMI for that to be a
reasonable thing to contemplate?
